Techniques for Turning at High Speed

When exactly are washed out in one shift is determined by the traction between the tires and the surface is less than the attraction of centrifugal force, itself a function of his turn radius and the square of its speed.

Leaning

All this assumes, of course, that the rider leans the correct amount on the curve. The biggest mistake novices make is to be timid about tilted, and this slows down as much as improper cadence. You can opt for as much as 45 degrees perfectly safely if your speed is at the bottom of bicycles, motorcycles and finish almost flat when cornering at higher speeds yet. Finding pilots in the heat of competition is looming much more than it had ever dared in everyday training, and that certainly tell the story live. Whenever you have traction and speed, there is no limit other than the psychological trend in.

There are two main ways to lean into a turn. The first and most suited to the trails, is to keep your body in an upright position while pressing the relatively bike down, sometimes almost horizontally, keeping his weight on the pedal and off the inside of the handlebar. This is acceptable performance of which makes is not critical, and traction is uncertain because it is very easy to recover if the ground gives way, and keep cycling between the ground and their meat.

The best way is to turn to remain in its aerodynamics and simply tuck it more lean. This is the best idea of the difficulty packed trails without surprises, or pavement. It is the style of choice if you need every bit of turning capacity can be abrasive, because you've entered the turn going too fast and do not want to have to be scraped off a telephone pole. You can tilt to 45 degrees at high speeds, and if you're in black is very difficult to screw.

If you choose lean, instead of pushing his bicycle for perch, while over it, you can still pedal. Until surprising angles, too - at 28 degrees with toeclip pedals, and with the best Clipless models, up to 36 degrees. If you've ever inclined at 28 degrees, that's steep. Would you like to pedal at all times, unless you're spinning so rapidly that the lean angles on the cause pedal to hit the ground. If you do pedal, then you are not going fast enough, but beware of pedaling when his runs out of liquidation - you can lift the entire rear wheel of the ground and jump as much as one meter on the side. Not only scare the hell you, but this is definitely an evil plan shout during a fall.

The tire pressure

Reducing the tire pressure will improve both the traction (to a point!) To slow down, making it easier curves. Motorcycles, for example, operate with very low tire pressure because the engine can enjoy the inefficiency much more easily than a rider can. Road racers in general want to inflate their tires near the maximum mark, usually 120 to 170 PSI, and does not want to throw the speed which provides that except for unusual situations.

When traction is paramount, using about half that pressure - so that there is a noticeable bulge when riding - help at the expense of significantly higher rolling resistance. With less pressure, the patch where the tires meet the road surface will be significantly higher. However, the waste of energy rolling resistance is remójese right into the tires, increasing tire pressure and temperature, which can be sufficiently critical after half an hour of constant braking in a down the mountain to celebrate the queue sew up tires at its tires.

Speed

Dump your speed before they turn, not him. At the time that I have you all front-wheel traction for braking is a recipe for disaster. To lose speed as quickly as possible before an unexpectedly serious turn, squeeze your rear brake moderately, and that compared with full force. When you feel the rear wheel skid to start, you know that almost all the weight has left behind his back, so that would alleviate the front brake. To postpone the point where its rear wheel loses weight as far as possible, slide back as far as it can while still being able to pull the levers of the brake, right in front of the headquarters. Keep this well until you're happy with their speed, or the shift begins.

If the corner turns out to be greater traction or poorer than the rider had anticipated, of course, the rule of slowdown before they in turn becomes difficult to follow. Or perhaps the degree through the turn is so steep that accelerate rather than turn can handle. The best bet is to leave enough room for speed to stick to his line without having things too dicey discover if some sand. Cut things too well and the fall will end his career as soon as the beginner's habit of slowing down too.

If you have when you brake turns, keep in mind that traction at its front wheel above all, is all used up. If you are in danger of slipping, straightening his turn a bit as you apply rear brake. Despite that detention has no power to the front, his rear brake contributes much less to a skid when turning.

If the situation is grave ...

Well, you have a bit of a problem here. Your best bet is to continue doing emergency braking deep into the curve, turning slightly, until you start running away from black. Ease off the brakes as the slam in turn, and if change is really fast no amount of braking is possible.

He surprised how quickly you can take a turn on whether lean enough, so you just run around the back and you lean right. Stay in your riding position and lean with the bike to about 45 degrees, and not just pushing his bicycle flat underneath you. Yes, that's a lot, and it feels like suicide, but it is perfectly safe in black, and is its only hope.

Anticipating

You may be thinking, after seeing this headline under so many issues, which is the key to cycling. No. It is the key to almost everything in human existence. Think ahead.

Anticipating his route. At the apex of the turn, come as close to the inside shoulder as you can, enter and leave the return to the outside shoulder. Look well ahead, especially when it goes quickly. In turn, seek spots flat surface and in turn on them. A little slowdown gives much more tire grip.

You are better off to anticipate the turning and braking too much, too soon, rather than negligence and knuckle-trawlers do too little, too late. It is much easier to pick up speed again after the round with some strong blows rather than pick up the pieces outside to turn with a spatula.

Anticipate his calculations. Shift gears before entering the turn, so that when you leave it may return to speed as soon as possible.

Remember that in a high-speed descent, the important thing is safety, not fun or go fast. It's easy to let your attention and stop walking over a patch of gravel, or entering a curve too fast. Be alert and attentive mhen traveling at high speeds, your brain bucket or might not be enough.
